New York City Children's Theater (formerly Making Books Sing) is a nonprofit organization that creates original, entertaining and enriching theater for young audiences and adults to enjoy together. We believe a city as culturally rich as New York needs a children's theater that produces high-quality original productions and develops robust arts-in-education programs, serving children in all communities across the five boroughs.

In 1996, New York City Children's Theater began as the family theater and education program of the Tony Award-winning Vineyard Theatre. It became an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2001. Over the last 18 years, our local and nationally recognized arts-in-education programs and professional theater productions have served over 100,000 children and adults across all five boroughs and surrounding communities in the tri-state area. We have increased arts accessibility for underserved communities in New York City through partnering with more than 400 urban schools and providing subsidized tickets to over 20,000 students. In addition, we have taught more than 2,000 teachers locally and in California creative ways to integrate theater into their classroom instruction and distributed over 4,500 Curriculum Resource Packets and Anthologies to supplement course material.
